Press Play with Madeleine Brand: California case: free speech v. abortion rightsCrisis pregnancy centers are generally run by pro-life groups that aim to convince pregnant women not to get abortions. A California law requires that employees tell their clients that the state offers free and low-cost abortions and other family planning services. Now a group of these centers is arguing that the law violates their freedom of speech.

A note from Matt Miller on the contest to rename the "Radical Center:"

I'm starting a contest for all my fellow radical centrists out there because we need a better name. I'm frustrated that at a time when more than ever we need a third-party style radical center, the "center" still has a lousy image – people think of the "dull, sensible center" -- or the "mushy middle" – as if it was about finding some bogus compromises between the inadequate bromides on offer from both parties – instead of what it is – a bold attempt to go beyond left and right by harnessing market forces for public purposes in ways equal to the magnitude of our problems.

So we need a better brand. I use "Radical Center" because I haven't come up with something better. I'd love your help. Is it the "Dirty Sexy Center?" The "Hot Center?" Send your names for this bold new third party-style center that we need to build in American politics to our blog at KCRW.com/LRC. The winner will get a signed copy of my book, The Tyranny of Dead Ideas. I'll leave this open for a few weeks and report on what gets suggested.
